Faure Requiem Aeternam

[kvladi]

Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine,

et lux perpetua luceat eis

[madeleine714]

Indeed it is ! But this movement is in fact Requiem Aeternam.

Faure's Requiem moves me on a level that I didn't know existed. Got to be the best 'Requiem' composition of any composer anywhere. It's purity is unmatched.

Faure rocks!

i like this conductor, he looks so concerned ! a sort of mephisto ! romantic and exagerated

[jablackdiamond]

can u say most awesomest conductor ever!!! i love the way he conducts...so much passion, so powerful.

How do people know ancient Romans pronounced Latin a certain way or another ? BTW thanks for the video.

[elk312]

By the way it was transcribed into other languages that are still spoken, like Greek. Through this method scholars were able to determine that in Classical Latin "v" had a "w" sound and all "c"s were hard, regardless of what followed it (e.g., an "e" or an "i".) Classical Latin pronunciations differ from the ecclesiastical Latin used in the Roman Catholic Church, for example. When singing pieces such as these the ecclesiastic pronunciation is used.

I believe this song is in ecclesiastical Latin though, its mixed with French.

Singing this today with my choir. Wish me luck!

i'm singing this on wednesday

[Clancy1326]

last year I had the amazing experience of playing this piece under the direction of Robert Page. Because I played first violin, I was tacit through the first two movements, and just got to soak up the music. Every time the chorus reached that swell around 4:15-4:40 I got goosebumps. It's so incredibly powerful. I would love to hear it played in a large cathedral.

This Friday I'm singing, as a tenor, this song with orchestra in a cathedral lol

[ChoirQT504]

Oh and NOT FAIR that they got to use music books. We memorized ours, and we are only High Schoolers!

[ChoirQT504]

My choir sang this last year. At first I thought it was going to be impossible but it was actually SO amazing!

[Toriloserfreak]

i love this movement of the Requiem, also I like Sanctus.....i think my choir are preforming the two (perhaps more) in March sometime.....i love singing them, it's just so majestic, i feel amazing being able to do it, since i have a reason for singing it totally from the heart =]

We have sung this requiem too... it was very good to sing it. But i don't understand, why do they use the italian pronunciation... It's latin...

[golkiper1989]

it's latin, but this is the way the "church latin" sounds. why church latin is similar to italian - it's easy to guess ;)

i'm afraid that only in Poland, Hungary, Germany and Austria pronounciation would be different. if i'm wrong - correct me ;)

[luziitaa]

no, everybody uses italian pronunciation in music, ti's something universal..

[laillabeth]

Only the lanuage of the operas is italian... But latin-language music is something other. (or should be something other...)

[riverhai]

It depends also on the composer which pronunciation is used. Bachs Missa in B Minor for example uses a german pronunciation. But as I know the "real" latin pronunciation was not too far away from italian.

[EasierToFallBehind]

The pronunciation of ecclesiastical Latin is generally similar to Italian pronunciation - e.g. 'c' pronounced as 'ch', 'v' pronounced as 'v' rather than 'w', and so on. As an avid fan of ancient Latin, it puts my teeth on edge to hear choirs pronouncing the 'v' in words, but what can you do? ;)

My high school chorus is preparing this Requiem too because my teacher died in an accident the last year...

[vthicks]

My high school chorus is preparing to sing Faure's Requiem for our All-County Chorus later this year. This is one of my favorite movements. It sounds wonderful!

[SwissMan73]

love this piece of music...but I think the piano's an pianissimos at the beginning were far too loud here...
